Blood donation is not a usual thing for me at the beginning. When I was in secondary school until my Pre-University, I was really curious about what type of blood that I have and could i share up my blood.... SOMEONE told me that blood donation is a good thing to do. It is not only can benefit us in term of body maintain, but for the blood needy also. The first time I share my blood was when I enter IIUM. There is a campaign for that. At that time, my dream about share up my blood will come true...hehe.In order to sharing blood, we need to get at least 45 kg in weight, sleep for at least 5 hours night before we do the blood donation, have 3 months duration at least before that donation and so on. For the foreigner, 1 year living in Malaysia is the condition to share blood.
talking about this, I am happy to say that my blood type is O which is universal donor and any type of blood can receive mine though I only can receive O type. I am glad for that, and I become more excited to share up my blood because it is needed.
urmmm,,, actually, I was a little bit dissagre about the ‘blood donation’ term..If I could, I would like to change the term to ‘blood sharing’.. Well for me, it is much much more better than the blood donation. I would like to use ‘blood Sharing’ rather than ‘blood donation’ because the needy is not the beggar.~_~
Imagine,,, You are involved in an accident. You lose a huge amount of blood and need few from someone who has the compatible blood type with you.. Which one do you prefer, the nurse tell you that “someone want to donate his blood for you…” or “someone want to share his blood with you…” Well, I don’t know your answer, but I preffered the second second one. Well, whatever it is. Maybe my words sound like a little bit nonsense and nothing to do with, but that is what I am feel. Well, well, well..... I still wish that one day the term can change..
My final word, don't worried of becoming a blood donor because nothing is harmful as long as you follow the right steps in doing it. The negative perception about blood sharing is wrong and instead, it can give a lot of benefit for us. urmmmmm.... I wish I can maintain my health condition and could sharing my blood every 3 months....
